Not here. Have you lost rankings in the SERPs? Remember, Big Daddy updates are going on. Last I lost 80% of earnings was when I was hit by Jagger

Not for me, Sunday was my highest ever Sunday, Monday was bang on an average day however one of my two core sites, from 100+, had an absolute pummelling with its EPC down by half however it has recovered strongly today and if it continues in this vein then I'll have a good day.

BigDaddy doesn't seem to have affected me so I cannot comment on that.

If anything, my SERP is up, EPC is way down. Cannot figure out why yet, but am experimenting with some things now. My main site has taken a drastic drop, has a higher CTR (almost twice), and slightly higher impressions. It is getting to the point where I might just drop AS from this site because it really isn't worth it anymore.

One site went from paying about $10 a day to about $1.50 a day. Really, I can use that space for something better if this doesn't improve.

How old are your sites?

How many Adsense page impressions a day?

Yes I am seeing a sharp drop as well.

Gone from about $120 a day to $65 a day starting on the 12th.

Page impressions are actually UP as are my CTR.

Good think I have Yahoo up and running on my site now, I may have to give Google the boot if this keeps up.

I am. If it is a ctr issue for you (as it is with me), See the "Targeting" thread.

Even a large increase in traffic is not compensating for the awful targetting and resulting poor CTR :(

Not here, either, which just goes to show that personal experience isn't universal. Your down days may be my up days, and vice versa. Dips or spikes are perfectly normal.

It doesn't appear that there is any rhyme or reasoning to it. Some folks are steadily increasing in CTR/revenues, while others seem to be down.

I think most of it depends on your site content, what's happening in the media, changes in global events, etc.

Folks are celebrating Valentine's Day today, which usually means a lot of breakfasts, brunches, lunches, and dinners, away from the computer.

Also, a lot of people send flowers and candy via the web, so I'm sure the delivery agencies are getting slammed.

So, if your site is about selling plywood, you may not be too popular today.

Yep getting slammed today...revenues are only 30% of normal if that!

Revenue's poor this month for me. $1,000 less than what I made by this date for January, and $1,800 less than by this date December.

last couple of days have been slower here. It's the 15th in Australia, however much of our traffic is from outside Aus
